i don't trust cvtomf at all -- the only use i make of the Microsoft compiler
(cc) is to cross-compile for MSDOS.  (the cross-compiler is one of the major
reason the department that owns the system bought SCO UNIX rather than any
of the alternatives they considered when our 68020 BSD box died last summer.)

Thanks for the response (thanks also to those who replied via email).
I did have to fiddle with the definition of FFS, now that you mention it.
It turns out that i was using the tm-i386v.h configuration, and trying to
use gas.  Silly me.  At the moment, I'm using COFF all the way, with the
AT&T assembler and linker.  This seems to work okay.  Of course, as i
understand the installation instructions, this also precludes gdb :-(.  If
i have time, i'll see if the COFF encapsulation works any better with
tm-i386gas.h, but at least now i have a working gcc, and can take a look at
g++ now.
